Good for Nothing Page #3

---

- Akiyama's just playing a game.

The game has gone too far.

I didn't think you were so shameless.

Don't be like that.

I didn't even do anything.

You were an accomplice at least.

Whatever you say.

But actually, you saved me

by turning the lights out.

Don't give me so much credit.

Why not?

You ask too many questions.

We just wanted to rile you up.

Still, you saved me.

It's all the same.

What if you stopped seeing those guys?

Why do you even hang out with them?

I guess I have nothing

better to do with my life.

You're such an idiot!

I'm an idiot now?

After being a good for nothing,

after being the lowest...

Now I'm an idiot.

Yes, it's not so bad to be an idiot.

- What are you doing?

- You laugh too loud.

Women quickly lower their

guard when they're surprised.

You've made yourself clear.

This is how a good for nothing behaves.

What kind of girl do you think I am?

If you thought I'd give in so easily,

you're mistaken.

Get a hold of yourself.

- I have to make a call.

- Go ahead.

Akiyama Trading?

Can you get the secretary,

Miss Makino, on the line?

Even though you got everyone together,

you still played a dirty trick.

You'll have to spend 8000 yen.

Here's the bill.

ashtrays, chairs...

Great job breaking all that.

It was already hard to cover costs.

I don't have any money.

Don't just joke around.

We're not gonna pay the bill.

We don't need 8000 yen this moment.

Just give what you have.

I've got nothing.

If you don't believe me, check my room.

We knew you'd say that.

But we have a plan.

Ikuko Makino.

Akiyama plans to bring her here.

- You'll bring her here and then what?

- We'll collect.

- Collect?

- Yeah, she'll pay for the damage.

- She can do that, right?

- She won't come.

If she doesn't come,

you'll get the money.

Couldn't you steal it?

I don't want to.

She had nothing to do with this.

If you're gonna be like that,

pay it yourself!

Pay up, now!

Wait, you can't leave 'til we're done.

What are you doing?

- Nothing. I'll pay you.

- Bastard!

What did she say?

She's bringing the money here.

That was easy. She's a pushover.

Good work, my friend. She's ours.

She won't pay!

I won't let anyone pay for me!

Leave it to me!

Stop! Stop, I said!

- I'll pay the 8000 yen.

- You'll pay nothing!

I won't let Akiyama

or anyone pay for me!

Jun, she's here.

- Where'd you get it?

- An advance on my pay.

- That settles it.

- Keep it.

Keep it? You said you needed it.

He paid in your place.

Toshio, take it.

I don't want to owe you anything.

I just ask one thing.

Please don't call me anymore.

Hear that Jun?

Don't call her anymore.

She wasn't talking to me.

- What happened to your face?

- When he heard you were paying,

this idiot got angry.

See how he loves you?

- A woman can't resist.

- Stop joking.

I'll pay Akiyama when I can.

The money's yours.

Give it to Toshio or do what you want.

I don't need it.

It's yours. Take it.

No, it's my thanks

for when you saved me.

Now we're even.

It really would be better

if you didn't see them anymore.

Today, it was only blows to the face.

But some day they might destroy you.

What can archaeology,

especially Japanese archaeology,

what can it say about our time?

This is the question I'd like to ask.

It seems simple at first,

but it's not, when you think about it.

We must first ask ourselves

how archaeology

and its interpretations vary over time.

In Europe, it's called "archaeology."

Ever since it first existed,

it has changed at least four times...

Jun! You going to class?

It's not very often...

that we see you in class.

What? You still mad about the other day?

I'm not mad.

Akiyama wants to know

if you're coming tonight.

To keep him company again?

- I'm tired.

- It's different tonight.

It's his dad's birthday.

I don't give a damn.

He invited everyone from work

and there will be plenty to eat.

You coming?

I bet you have nothing

to eat at your little shack.

You couldn't offer such a feast.

I have lived only with conviction,

or perhaps I should say...

it's the quality that

has allowed me to survive.

Otherwise, if men

were basically good,

they wouldn't start

these unneccesary wars.

The trade that we practice

every day wouldn't be possible.

Those are the

contradictions of capitalism.

I don't want to pretend to be

more malicious than I am.

That type of person is left

wanting forever, without a doubt.

Your conviction was useful

in the last negotiation.

You crushed your opponent.

You even had the heavy hand.

Because you don't show

your feelings easily, Boss.

You would be the first

to point out a mistake.

These are the men

who invented the rules.

Those who wear a mask of virtue,

only to stab you in the back later...

They seem far more despicable to me.

Jun, stuff yourself

enough for at least three days.

Otherwise, what's the point

of boring yourself coming here?

The boss has always had no style.

It's just for show. He must

have a bit of a guilty conscience.

It all depresses me.

Talking like he's the

top of the heap in Japan today.

It's hopeless.

Well I can't completely disagree.

I'd surely be doing

the same thing in his place.

You?

Yeah, you'll be the same someday.

You'll gather everyone together

just to say that all men are wolves.

I'm not the only one.

You criticize us now,

but wait 'til you're married.

The wife of a salaryman

tired of domestic life.

I'm not like that.

Everything annoys you.

I get bored and I chase after girls.

Basically, it's the same thing.

But it's true that you

showed your nice side the other day.

I can start again if you want.

You came. But I told you

that you don't belong here.

That's my business.

I don't take orders from you.

It's you again.

This time, I'm here first.

- Get lost.

- I don't take orders from you either.

- I should teach you some manners.

- Stop this childishness.

I should just let

some kid make fun of me?

You in a bad mood?

Don't make trouble.

It's better for you that way.

Leave him. You don't

know what he's capable of.

- Let's go.

- I'd rather stay here a while.

With such an unpleasant guy?

He's not so bad.

I'm leaving.

Arguing with children

is not my idea of a good time.

You managed to get rid of him.

Here's your money.

I knew that I'd find you here.

So that's why you came?

Thank you.

- It would be better if you left.

- Why?

- I'm not welcome here?

- You're wasting your time.

Not at all.

You're different from the others.

There's nobody else like you in my life.

It's always people obsessed with work,

or corrupted by money.

I'm not how you imagine me.

A good for nothing, you said so.

No, I understand now.

You don't understand

how often I go broke wasting money.

But you didn't waste it.

I came tonight because

I was tired of my regular hangout.

Quit lying to me.

You should really

stop hanging out with them.

Toshio likes to let a conflict spread,

like measles among children.
